  • Manifest to us is just a train with a lot of different loads in it. My guess is you get it from having a wheel that looks like a shipping maifest for a nightmare! Just basiclly loose car train not every car going to the same place ( or in some cases they are)
    BNSF has a M for normal slow old park in a siding manifest and H for high priority manifest ( park in front of M train in siding ;) )trains. some are like long distance yard transfers (M GALLIN is galesburg yard to Lincoln yard and runs any cars going to them and points inbetween)
    I hope this helps

    Yes we are on time but this is yesterdays train
